2-3 Weeks
I got the email tonight that my DePaul University application is complete 🙂 So I’ll get my decision letter in the next 2-3 weeks. I think I’ve pretty much decided not to bother taking the LSAT again, though I haven’t decided for sure. Most people don’t score appreciably higher the second time around and of course you could score lower the second time too. When you take it multiple times, the law schools get all the scores, not just the highest score. Mostly I just want LSAC to process the letter of recommendation from my old boss. At this point, my dad says they should have received the second letter when they got into the office on the 4th, so come Monday if it’s not processed I’ll give them a call, get their fax number and explicitly ask what I need to do to get this taken care of because it’s beyond ridiculous at this point.
Other than that, I’m setting into my new team at work. I know I can make things work for the next 5 or so months until I put in my notice (as you can see, I’m assuming I get into law school somewhere – I have to assume that and thus create an end date in my mind or I’d go nuts). I definitely miss the roominess in my old cube however. My current cube is probably 4 feet square – I’ve literally got enough room for the counter for my computer and then my chair in from of that counter The cubes in the other building upstairs were probably 4×6.
In other news, I saw my parents off at the airport this morning as I dropped them off myself on my way to work (the airport is just down the street from my office and they needed to be there about the time I’m over that way on my way to work). I talked to my mom briefly while they were in Minneapolis around lunchtime. Then I send a text message to my dad telling him about DePaul and he sent me one back around 6pm telling me that he and my mom had landed in San Francisco. From there they have about an hour layover before 4 1/2 hour flight to Hawaii. That’s right – my parents are in Hawaii for 10 days. They get home about 3:30pm on Monday the 25th. The dogs will be my responsibility in the morning in terms of feeding and then letting them out. The boys will deal with them during the day and feed Maxie at night (of course once they leave next week I’ll get all of that detail)…..oh well.
